Members of Company K See rwr i r ww w 1

Wonders The following letter has been received from a member of Company K, on strike duty at Indiana Harbor: I have Just returned with my squad ', irom an eariy morning turn at guard duty. Three ginger cakes and a green apple, gotten from a little bakery lu the outskirts have constituted my breakfast sufficiently to Induce me to forego the delight of walking 2 more miles to mess quarters for the appetizing odors which accompany a wash boiler full of stale scrambled eggs, a platter of strong ham, and a tub full of Lyonnalse potatoes, dished up by fo many dusky, greasy "Knights of the Skillet" in impartial quantities In true military precision. You at home may wonder how, wltn eggs at 70c a dozen anyone could or would deliberately and of his own free will and accord walk away rather than toward this aforesaid wash boiler full of scrambled extravagance, but the same question might as reasonably be raised as to why any one of us would not joyfully walk into a den of skunks In order to procure an expensive fur coat for his wife FREE of charge. This every morning advance upon the eggs they 6erve us I have come to believe is a test of courage, a feat of

endurance especially arranged by our superiors to gauge the efficiency of the troops, and is an indication of what can be expected for any service whatever. Monster Gun Factory. With three other companies we are comfortably quartered in what used to be a government office building. Work, men are busy dismantling an immense steel and brick building constructed by the government and equipped for the making of six-inch guns. We are told this was one of the finest plant3 of its kind in the country. Within the A high board fence the premises we oc- " cupy, are stored $8,000,000 worth of Eteel bars, about the size of railway ties each one weighing about a ton. I happen to be seated upon a huge 10inch shell and about me on every hand i. re piled thousands of similar ones all in an unfinished state, and one can not but wonder what an enormous i, mount of destruction and horror was prevented with their non-completion. As they lie, piled high row upon row they appear as a huge monument to the resourcefulness of our country in time of need. Most of our boys are seeing sights they never saw before. The huge rolling mills with the dazzling light of their many furnaces and the thunderous roar of their huge machinery are of much interest, particularly at night when tons of glowing metal and myriads of showering sparks from the heavcy steam hammers make a constant pyrotecnical display, surpassing any 4th of July celebration. I have often thought what luck it would be were Richmond to procure just one 6uch plant as many that aro here, but since my coming here and eeeing first hand, the element of citizenship which must necessarily accompany the successful operation of euch industries, our town can congratulate herself upon her more modest and refined accomplishments in the way of industries. I am told 87 per cent, of the population are foreigners, mostly Slavs, Transilvan nians, Poles, etc. 40 can neither speak nor understand our language. They practically control municipal affairs and hold the balance of power. Well Received by Some. We have been well received by such residents as appreciate the enforceff.ment o law and order but the majority of .'hose we see upon the streets apparently regard us as antagonists. They do not seem to understand we are here to render absolutely Impartial service, to them as well as to their employers. This ignorance as to Just what the duties of the militia are, is not confined by any means either to the foreign and ignorant classes of cur state and country, many persons in our own home town having an entirely wrong conception of what we are maintained for. The regulations, Article 28, under which we exist, very emphatically states: "The attitude of troops must Vie strictly impartial, especially in labor disturbances. They should absolutely prevent all disorder, no matter from what source but should take extreme care to show no favors to any tide of the controversy." Boiling the matter down, our organization is maintained to protect life and property, whether from strikers, rioters, lynching parties or mob violence of any sort. Inevitable Sacrifices. Any one who thinks we are enjoying a "lark" ought to put in just one or two dnys doing guard duty at night or kitchen police through the day, all the time under strict military liicipline, and any orders for any kind of service. Every man of us has responsibilities in his home and business (hut he can ill afford to leave and which lie has hud to give up at more or less personal loss. The magnificent sum of $1.50 per

day hardly buys bread and milk for the kiddies at home. Still every man is looking at the matter philosophically, in making the best of a bad predicament, and is making the sacrifice cheerfully. Therr; is no organization in existence th;.i so successfully levels its individual membership as this, and this is conspicuously in evidence in our own Company K. Regardless of the existing differences in every man's condition socially and financially, every mother's son of us is on an equal scale. Not one feels himself better than another and there has developed The lunch I like just before bedtimeAdish of Post Toasties

rnss5l

or time industry

a mutual feeling of comradeship and sympathy which will last long after ' the final honorable discharge of Company K. Hoping with 62 others like me soon to be back in good old Richmond, I am Just "A Common Rookie."

SAGE TEA TURNS GRAY HAIR DARK It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and Lustre to Hair. That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- ; phur. Your hair is your cha'rm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundredfold. Don't bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at a small cost, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair. Everybody uses "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking, one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another application it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous.
